The increase in the number of super/hypermarkets in Sofia does not appear to be slowing down, making shopping a much easier experience all round for expats. All are self serve (with the exception of the deli counters) and air conditioned. Most have trolleys with child seats, easy car access, and accept debit and credit cards. Your favourite choice will depend on the location of the supermarket and your personal preference of products on offer. Help the environment by using cloth shopping bags or recycling your plastic ones.
